The "//" at the begining tells the XPath to start at the top. Just drag the driverName field into the appropriate column in your repeating table.

Hello,

Why do you want to use Position() when you can show all the names in the repeting Table by Binding the table to the XML?
Open the repeating table forms and then select Change Binding and add the fields you want to show in the table.This way all the values return to the Table.

Hope this helps you.

How to use position() in xpath?

jayliu2000 — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 07:05:31 GMT

Hi, I encountered some difficulties when trying to use position() function in xpath.
For example, I have a piece of XML like this:
....
<Driver>
<driverName>
driverA
</driverName>
</Driver>
<Driver>
<driverName>
driverB
</driverName>
</Driver>
....

Now I want to display these driver names in a repeating section repectively. I added an expression box and input "//Driver[position()]/driverName" as xpath. But I found it did not work as it was supposed. It always returns the first element.

Can anybody help me?
